Does Carbon Pricing Affect International Competitiveness? Implications for Carbon Leakage Kyoto University, Japan This paper explores the impacts of carbon pricing on the international competitiveness of manufacturing sectors. A simple theoretical framework is developed to explore the linkage between carbon pricing and market share of imported goods that potentially lead to carbon leakage. We examine direct and indirect impacts, to consider a shift from domestic to foreign inputs for producing output goods. Using the EU ETS as an empirical setting, we estimate the effects of carbon pricing on import and total values in targeted and non-targeted sectors. The analysis of bilateral trade flow reveal that unilateral carbon pricing slightly weaken the competitiveness of importing country in the markets of targeted sectors that might lead to a higher risk of carbon leakage. In contrast, the policy does not affect the competitiveness in those of non-targeted sectors. Obtained results suggest that unilateral carbon pricing has a direct influence on targeted sectors, but there are no evidence implying spillover effects on non-targeted sectors. | |
